Whether you’re looking to start a new subscription box business or add a direct-to-consumer strategy to your existing model, you need a logistics and fulfillment platform that will get your products where they need to be. Unfortunately, it’s not that easy. Dedicated market research, relationship-building with suppliers, launching and marketing your offering; none of it means anything if your product doesn’t reach your customer. As your business grows, you’ll find that your fulfillment and shipping needs will also expand.
A third-party logistics (3PL) provider can help your business meet your customers’ demand by providing a rock-solid supply chain to handle the fulfillment and distribution of your subscription box. However, not all 3PLs are created equal; businesses relying on 3PL providers need to ensure they have the knowledge, experience, and tools to support their business goals.
Since 1918, Birkby has provided industry-leading food distribution across Western Canada. Today, our turnkey 3PL services offer complete, scalable logistics solutions for our clients in the food and beverage industry, allowing them to focus on crafting quality products, delighting customers, and fostering growth.

Start-to-Finish Inventory Management
Subscription boxes and other direct-to-consumer services aren’t new. Nonetheless, many 3PL providers still lack the necessary systems to manage a direct-to-consumer supply chain effectively. These issues often start at the top, with many providers unable to seamlessly integrate their inventory and fulfillment systems with their customers’ business.
- Integration with all major eCommerce platforms.
- Real-time inventory visibility.
- Automated order fulfillment and inventory management.
- Integrated damages and expiry reporting.
Our multiple facilities across Western Canada process over 10,000 orders each week, with comprehensive systems to ensure every order is picked, packed, and sent out efficiently. Partnering with Birkby gives you access to a complete supply chain and fulfillment system to bring your products to market.
